PRSA Nashville is striving to “empower the diverse community of public relations and communications professionals in Middle Tennessee.” Our partnership with this organization helps us provide resources for engaging in and educating on civil discourse for professionals in the public relations industry. We have partnered with this organization through the help of Belmont alumni and the President of PRSA Nashville, Leigh K. Lindsey, and program director, Lee Ann Rose. 

Tennessee State University is an HBCU in Nashville, Tennessee. The 2021 Belmont Bateman and TSU have forged a partnership to increase cross-campus relations and strengthen the communications field at both institutions. This has been achieved by instating a Guest-Member policy for TSU students to join the PRSSA Chapter at Belmont and the student-run firm, Tower Creative Communications that will continue to last long after the campaign.

PRSSA at Belmont University is a student organization that allows students on campus the opportunity to enhance and move further in their careers through events, mentorship programs, and leadership positions. In specific, Belmont's PRSSA chapter has distinguished itself through "leadership excellence and professional development." The Bateman team's partnership with this student organization has been achieved through providing blog resources for their department's website educating college students on civil discourse. The resources provided and the partnership activities have encouraged students to implement civility in their daily life. 

Tower Creative Communications is a nationally affiliated, student-run public relations agency at Belmont University. The agency was established in 2006 as a professional development initiative of Belmont’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). Tower Creative gives emerging professionals the opportunity to sharpen their skills by working alongside real clients to research, plan, implement and evaluate solutions to actual communications needs. TCC has been a close partner for the Belmont Bateman Team throughout the campaign, particularly with events. You can reach out to work with Tower Creative on their website, http://towercreative.org
